So, on pythonista. Well, you see, I am running a dictionary password cracker for science fair. It would really help if I can use it on iPad so I can test at lunch. However, it will not recognize the passwords.txt directory that I added in the folder with it. How to I set that?

Copy of what I am running:

# This program is offered for use with the Science Buddies project idea
# "How Easily Can Your Password Be Hacked?" which lets you explore the
# makeup of a good password. This program will help you understand some
# methods that people use to guess other people's passwords.
#
# the program begins execution at 'main' after the helper programs and functions
# are defined. You'll also notice that several functions have places where
# print() functions have been turned into comments. When debugging a program, it's
# helpful to add in more descriptive screen output than you might want later on.
# Once the program is working, you can remove the extra output os, as we've done here,
# 'comment it out' so that someone else can use it again later on if they decide to
# modify your program.
#Tell Python we want to use some functions it doesn't always use

Generally, if you have not used os.chdir, files try to open from the main script library. If you have placed it in a folder, or if you are running anything that used chdir, you are best off using absolute paths, or expanded from the user path
